[α]2r: HEnricus dei et apłce sedis gratia Ep̃s Augustenẜ || ...
Letter from Heinrich, bishop of Augsburg, dated from Dillingen on 1 February 1510. He mentions the services to the preservation of liturgy done by his predecessor Friedrich. He mentions that he had commanded Ratdolt to print this missal, so that there should be no lack of books and that they should be accurate, consistent with the earlier editions and also elegant (Ne temporum cursu predictorum librorum minuatur: eque castigatos prioribus consonos et non minus elegantes per prouidum nobis in Christo dilectum Erhardum Ratdolt ciuem Augustensem imprimi mandamus).

[α]2v: somewhat crude woodcut of Madonna and child surrounded by SS Ulrich and Afra. Four shields, including the arms of the bishop and the bishopric, are beneath.

There are some shorter staves of one column’s width. The descent of the notes into the region of the text underlay indicates that this book could have been printed in triple impression.
